 Chamber Offers Opportunities 
To Give Back

Those involved in the Chamber have a pulse on the community.  These are the business owners and managers who are connected to their community and want to be involved.  We look for ways to showcase the area and what makes our area unique.  

One of the events we take pride in each year is the Outer Banks Seafood Festival.  This Saturday, visitors will come from near and far to experience local seafood, to learn about our heritage and our challenges with Oregon Inlet.  Guestswill enjoy arts and crafts, live music, beverages and fun.  

In order to pull off an event of this size, event organizers depend on volunteers to help.  From serving beverages to welcoming guests, emptying trash containers, directing traffic and handling logistics, it takes the village to make this event happen.

A few volunteer opportunities still need to be filled for Saturday.  If you have some time and would like to donate, send an email of interest to Chamber President & CEO Karen Brown at [email protected] Greatest need is 2-6:00 p.m. 

Either as a volunteer or participant, join us Saturday for the Outer Banks Seafood Festival!  It is a community event sponsored by partners who love showcasing this area's best. Find out more at www.outerbanksseafoodfestival.org 

Chamber Offers Opportunity for Lunch with
Business and Marketing Leaders

The Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce and SAGA Construction & Development present "Topics at Twelve" - A General Membership Luncheon, providing Chamber members as well as residents the opportunity for face-to-face conversation with business and marketing professionals who will be sharing tactics and resources to enhance local businesses. 
 
"Topics at Twelve" will take place at Pamlico Jack's in Nags Head on Thursday, October 22, 2015 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Admission to this program is $25 for Chamber Members and $35 for Non-Members and includes lunch and the program.

Rather than a table of panelists and one large audience, there will be tables of 10 hosted by representatives from organizations that enhance our Outer Banks Business Community. Slated to participate are: Chairman Bob Woodard, Dare County Board of Commissioners; Dr. Evonne Carter, Vice President, Learning for College of The Albemarle; Keith Conover, Technical Analyst, NC Office of Digital Infrastructure; Matt Byrne, Business Counselor, Small Business & Technology Development Center; Dave Whitmer, Director and Emily Nicholson, Business Services and Economic Development Coordinator with Northeastern Workforce Development Board; Jeff Schwartzenberg, Director of Marketing, Kitty Hawk Kites; Teuta Towler, President, Mitro Digital Marketing; and Shannon Kinser, Marketing Director, Sun Realty.

Registrants will rank the above topics in order of their preference and will receive three assigned tables to spend their lunch with. They will enjoy salad with their Table Topic #1, lunch with Table Topic #2, and dessert and coffee with Table Topic #3. Rotating from table to table will make for a fun and interactive event, allowing guests to establish connections and learn from each organization.
